Weather Policy

Waves Surf School will only cancel if weather conditions are deemed unsafe to run SAFELY.

Rainy and Stormy Weather – trips are not cancelled due to rain and storms. In the case of thunderstorms, all surfers will be evacuated from the water until the thunder passes.

Extreme weather events – when extreme weather affects Sydney’s eastern beaches, there are usually options of protected beaches, that create surfable waves when our regular beaches are un-surfable. Waves Surf School will make the decision to run or cancel on the morning of the trip in such cases.

Flat Weather Conditions – times like these we practice still water skills such as duck diving, paddling, and manoeuvring. We also spend time at nearby skate parks, to practice on-land surf skills. (Skateboard equipment supplied). Adventure activities such as waterfall walks and lagoon swimming sometimes substitute surfing, if the surf conditions are deemed unsafe.

J’ai passé une super journée de surf avec Dean. C’était vraiment une très belle expérience, et Dean est un excellent professeur. Il est très sympa, patient et donne de très bons conseils pour progresser. Je recommande vivement de faire une journée de surf avec lui.

I booked this for me and my partner the night before. Whilst I had no delusion that I’d be any good at surfing, I thought he would be and that we would both find it fun and enjoy it. Us and 2 other people were picked up by Deano and 3 other family members/friends of theirs, and this made for a very close knitted experience! It felt like we were just having a day out at the beach with friends - the drive there and back was enjoyable in the back of a jeep; like hanging out with people you’ve known for a while. The actual surf lessons weren’t too long but detailed and informative. We also got treated to a small but lovely tasting BBQ on the beach. Deano was funny and reminded me of a drill sergeant - he sounded strict, but it was all jokes! I was laughing and smiling constantly. When it was clear I was the slow learner of the group he gave me extra help and I managed to stand up a few times and ride! Highly recommend, even as first timers. The beach was quiet and not too crowded as well.

It was just wonderful! We spent five weeks in Australia, and the kids wanted to have a surf lesson the day before we left the country. Jay Jay was so kind and managed to organise a last-minute surf lesson at Bondi Beach for us. Everything was perfect, from the pick-up in Sydney to seeing the kids actually surfing after their two-hour lesson. Deano was incredibly kind and professional, and absolutely wonderful with the children. They loved every minute of it! Thank you so much for making their last day in Australia so special! 💙🌊🤙🏼
"This was really good. It was raining but the surfer dude was so awesome and happy that we all forgot about the rain and had so much fun. The staff really patient with me I was having a difficult time to stand but I did it in the end and he made me feel like a superhero! Barbeque was great, surfing makes you really hungry and there was so much food! "

"The four of us (two Germans and two French) had an amazing day surfing on a private beach with a lot of privacy and were being taken care of amazingly :) By the end of it we had all managed to catch some waves all on our own!"
